MILLERTON — Summertime has been both educational and fun for several dozen children between the ages of 3 and 12 who were able to learn more about creatures living in the wild through Nature Scouts at Rudd Pond. 

The NorthEast-Millerton Library program, in collaboration with the Taconic State Park-Rudd Pond, the Sharon Audubon Society and the Amenia Free Library, will feature creepy-crawly insects on Thursday, Aug. 5, the pond itself on Friday, Aug. 6, and our feather friends on Thursday, Aug. 12. 

All sessions run from 3 to 4 p.m. and begin at the Rudd Pond playground.
